Costly play fuels Broncos' Rahim Moore

Broncos safety moving on after taking blame for playoff loss

DENVER -- Some players packed up their lockers quietly, too sad to talk. Others conversed and carried on as a way to mask the sadness.

Rahim Moore, normally a chatty sort, did not seem dejected as he walked through the locker room, but determined. Focused. It was Sunday, Jan. 13, the day after the Broncos were stunned by the Baltimore Ravens in an AFC playoff game. As is custom, the players had returned to the Broncos' Dove Valley headquarters to clean out their lockers the day after the stunning loss. All were disappointed their offseason vacations were starting so soon.

Moore, the Broncos' starting free safety, was about to take the "off" out of his offseason.

"I'm on a mission," Moore said last week. "I want to be a great player. I'm not in the league for the glamour and glitz. I love this game. I'm not good at anything else. I stick to the script."

The night after the Broncos lost to the Ravens 38-35 in two overtimes, a defeated Moore took full blame for as he addressed the media that mobbed his postgame locker, he took a red-eye flight to Florida. He arrived at 6 a.m. Monday, and that afternoon started working out in Del Ray Beach, Fla. with his athletic trainer, Tony Villani.
